Why Choose This Course?

In our collection of Social Scenarios, students will be putting themselves in the shoes of key decision-makers and will need to make a tough decision. They will be asked to think about the concept of empathy and how it can help guide their decision-making process.

The students will watch videos that explain the scenarios and then work together in teams to come up with a decision. They will need to think about how their decision will affect everyone involved and consider different perspectives.

We expect to see the students demonstrating skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork. They will need to listen to each other’s ideas and opinions, respectfully share their own, and work together to come up with a decision that takes into account the needs and perspectives of all stakeholders.

Additionally, we expect the students to demonstrate empathy, the ability to understand and share the feelings of others, which is an important life skill that can help them become compassionate and responsible members of society.
